Anyone know what Tecumseh this is?

[juice2839]

I know very little about Tecumseh. I picked this up from a swap meet. It runs good and has good compression.

Is it a HS40 variant or a 3HP. It does have a 3/4 shaft with threaded hole so I thought it was worth buying.

thanks for any info.

Can you tell us the numbers on the shroud by the spark plug beginning with 143.?? Those numbers show it was produced for Sears. It has the nice side fill tank and you can convert that motor to minibike throttle linkage in about 10 minutes.

Pretty sure it's an HS40

Hs 40 means it is a 4 horse power engine.Probably came off a tiller or some type of equipment.

 

[Not so mini bike]

Intake is on the left side for hs40 and hs50
More than likely a h35

Looks like it's an H35. NSMB you are correct lol.

Thank you guys. So it's 3.5HP. Probably not to desirable then?

It's a very good engine for a minibike. You just have to gear it right. My 3.5HP engines haul my 250lbs around even on grass. They just aren't speed demons. The teal bike in my avatar has a 3.5HP Tec on it. I would have bought that engine in a heart beat. It looks like it has been taken care of. Change the oil regardless of what it looks like before you run it too much more.

Thanks again for the info.. I figured for the $35 bucks they were asking I'd throw it on the shelf in my garage and maybe someday use it or flip it sometime..

Hs40 means 4 hp
